While an attractive image, egg_162 (golden spaceship above planet) doesn't
just seem off-topic, it is off-topic. In the accompanying text file Roland
lists the topic as "Space".

I'm curious, doesn't the irtc ftp acceptance script try and catch this sort
of error (or is it all done by hand)?

They don't do the check, to avoid an entry to be rejected because of
a minor typo.  However, it would be good to issue a strong "WARNING" 
when it doesn't match...

I dunno... seems pretty contrasting to the other entries... maybe going
for interp. score here? ;o)
